Upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Now unable to use MyEclipse with Tomcat.

This is a critical bug, but MyEclipse has not responded for 7 days.

dmoshal,

Can you look into this post – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/snow-leopard-and-myeclipse-fix-resolution/&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
and let me know if this works for you?

[dmoshal]

Joy – thanks for the quick reply.
I’m not sure though exactly what you are referring to in that post.
I had MyEclipse 7.5, using the 1.6 jdk, then upgraded to snow leopard.
I cannot seem to run any tomcat server from the MyEclipse plugin – I get the error: “Unable to connect to VM”, exactly as shown in a previous post (which is locked hence I had to create a new posting).
Interestingly, I can create a Run launch config but not a Debug launch config (both of these outside of the server launch panel)

Do you see this problem if MyEclipse is started with a new workspace? Can you press “Search…” on installed JREs preference page?

[dmoshal]

yes, problem occurs with a brand new workspace.

I can search on java preferences, installed jre, but that doesn’t fix anything.

Here’s the curious thing:

1. I can run tomcat from the regular ‘run’ command.
2. I cannot debug tomcat app from the regular ‘debug’ command.
3. I cannot run or debug tomcat from the ‘server’ commands.

[dmoshal]

Essentially it seems that Myeclipse cannot reach the debug port on the JVM, as best I can see.

[dmoshal]

It does mean that MyEclipse is not a usable IDE for web based applications on Snow Leopard.

PROBLEM SOLVED

The solution is to set the Launch mode from debug to run:

[Server] > Launch > Run Mode

I’ll accept free Myeclipse licenses for life for solving this for you!

Thank you for taking time out to post the solution for the other users.

[dmoshal]

Well actually it’s not a perfect solution.
With the above you can at least run tomcat, however, you cannot debug tomcat.
I’m guessing that the problem is connecting to the JVM’s debug port, somehow that is being blocked by Snow Leopard.
I’ll google around to see if anything has been discovered, then I’ll expect free MyEclipseIDE licenses for 2 lifetimes.

This worked for me in the end:
